The 12-member jury returned the late night verdict after clearing Brett Hankison earlier in the evening on a charge that he used excessive force on Taylor's neighbors.
The judge also threw out major felony charges against two former Louisville police officers accused of falsifying a warrant.
A judge declared a mistrial Thursday after jurors failed to reach a verdict in the civil rights trial of Brett Hankison, a former Louisville police detective who was part of the botched raid that killed Breonna Taylor in 2020.
Taylor, a 26-year-old emergency room technician, was shot and killed in her apartment during a flawed forced-entry raid in the early hours of March 13, 2020.
Kelly Goodlett, a former Louisville police detective who helped write the warrant that led to the deadly police raid at Breonna Taylor's apartment, has pleaded guilty to a federal conspiracy charge.
The four current and former officers face various civil rights and obstruction charges stemming from Taylor's 2020 death.
